Attorney Discipline

The Indiana Supreme Court has handed down a three-year suspension to an Indianapolis attorney whose conduct “far exceeded
zealous advocacy and included repeated abuse of the tools of the legal system.”

About half the property that federal agents inventoried after former personal injury attorney William Conour was charged with
wire fraud is missing from his home, and just 13 of 78 items at his former law office are still there, according to new government
filings in his federal criminal case.

Senior Judge Lisa M. Traylor-Wolff, who faced a disciplinary action on charges she had a sexual relationship with a client,
is no longer allowed to serve as a judge, the Indiana Supreme Court ordered Tuesday.

Former personal injury attorney William Conour has filed an affidavit in his federal wire fraud case swearing that the government
reneged on a deal to delay his prosecution so that he could settle outstanding cases that could have generated about $2 million
in fees.

More than a month after former Lake County clerk Thomas R. Philpot was sentenced to serve 18 months for theft and mail fraud
convictions, the Indiana Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission has requested his law license be suspended by the Supreme Court.

The Indiana Supreme Court agreed Nov. 1 to hold off on proceeding with a disciplinary investigation of former Indiana Secretary
of State Charlie White after White requested a stay. His law license, which was suspended in May, remains suspended.
